Uh, No I froze it and It didnt shoot fine till the Ice was out of the Action.
...potatoe/po-tot-o. I seriously doubt anyone besides a government employee will fire
any gun in a block of ice. And even if you could do it safely, why would you? I don't understand the concept of
destroying a gun or knife to prove that it's
durable. The only thing that torture testing proves is how much abuse you can subject a tool to before it fails - at which point it
no longer works. When, realistically, are you going to intentionally abuse something to the point of it not working? Why would anyone do that under real conditions? Accidents happen, but when is your Hi-Point going to accidentally get thrown out of a helicopter or fired out of a cannon? Even if you did damage it, you have a lifetime warranty. If that kind of stuff happens during your routine day, you're probably doing something privately supported but officially frowned upon by the government, in which case you should probably have your stuff custom made for top dollar. Doesn't anyone else see the problem with this? Imagine crashing your car to test its durability. Great, you lived. Now the car is destroyed. Is every accident the same? I doubt it. Each case will be a little different, and your mileage may vary. I understand that some people want the reassurance that their gun is tough, but what I'd like to know is how long the current models will last under
realistic hard use of thousands of rounds and very little cleaning. The people that get off to the torture testing usually have some "Red Dawn" fantasy about taking their custom 1911 or Glock and a bug-out-bag full of beef jerky, fruit roll-ups, and ammo and living in the woods like Robin Hood and waiting to fight the Russians. It doesn't prove a thing. If anyone wants to test their Hi-Point to the point of failure, and not plan on sending back in for warranty work out of courtesy to the company, I'd be happy to look at their results, but in the meantime, I guess I'll just have to be happy knowning metal and polymer are pretty stout stuff and don't break easily...
